Very Helpful Search function has returned! This app saved me when I was a lost first year and I definitely reccomend it for people who are starting at UQ

Needs update Hey guys would give 5* but with new Androids not having a menu button, we now can't access the search function. Please create a new inapp button for this.

Never find a right way since I use this app. :-) Always lead to a wrong gateway of a building.

Thanks for the feedback, Irina.
You actually can search by building number already! Click on the legacy menu button (three dots at the bottom right) or your hardware menu button if you have one, choose search and type in the building number.
We're hoping to do a major update soon which will make this more obvious.

A must have for getting around campus A fantastic app for navigating the mini city that is UQ. And for A Google User (July 12 2012) - you can search for buildings by number. Just hit the menu key and go to search and type in the number of the building you want.

Good app but could be better It navigates quite precisely and is easy to use. If you dont know the name of a building its pretty hard to find it by its number. I wish it had a "sort by number" as an option. Also it would be a great advantage if this app could differentiate between pedestrian paths and the roads as well.

Thanks for the feedback!
We don't have a sort by number option, however if you use the search function in the overflow menu, you can search by building number. Hope that helps.
As for the paths, how would you differentiate? The pedestrian paths are the thinner lines and the roads are thicker. Is this what you mean?

Gets the job done Besides having no soft menu button and no one finger zoom on the map, it's a decent app.

Great The app itself works fantastic, although native Maps API would've been a preferred choice to use in the Maps integration. And a small gripe, the icon is much smaller than others, making it look severely out of place on any page. Other than than those totally worth getting if you study at UQ.

Should allow bulding number searches Very useful although it would be better if one can type the building number too and search for it. Not everyone gives the name of the building and it's a bit inconvenient trying to scroll through building names in the app just to see what number it is.

Fairly useful Essentially just indexes the buildings/facilities that can't be found with Maps. Would be nicer if the maps were actually "on your Phone" (capital P, what?), allowing offline access. But the campus has fair wifi coverage anyway.

Huge App Size It is massive! over 5 MB! A lot of the images and maps should be streamed and cached not permanently stored regardless of weather they are ever needed/used or not. The concept is great and much needed but really needs work to reduce this size.
